Hey coach!
Is this you?
"I have one child on my U6 team who regularly
misbehaves even with his parents around...
I had a couple of heart to hearts with him,
but that didn't seem to help much.
Then I started giving footy4kids
patches... He earned one for bravery at the last game for getting
up so quickly after falls. I had told him that he would get something for
that. He was so excited. After I gave the patches out..I told him about a
special patch he could earn for listening and following directions. We
worked on a couple more practice games, he listened, did what he was told
and said: "I've followed directions!" I gave him a gold star.
It is amazing what a little thing like a patch can do." Lee

Marking
game
a soccer coaching drill designed to
reinforce good marking techniques and the role of the sweeper.
|
|
Duration: 15 mins
Grid Size:60x40
Procedure
The teams play in an area approximately 60X40 yards, with the condition
that each player in each team is responsible for marking and tackling his
own particular opponent. If any player marks or tackles somebody other
than the man he is delegated to watch, then a free-kick will be awarded
against him. Each team has a 'free-man' or 'sweeper' who is restricted to
playing in his own half of the field and to two- or one-touch soccer. He
can also cover his team-mates and intercept or tackle in his own half any
attackers who have broken free from their markers.
Development
(a) Restrict the sweeper to one-touch play only. (b) Allow the sweeper to
'break' over the half-way line and into the opponents' half: the
man-markers can leave their own opponents to challenge him if they feel it
necessary. |
